Brazil Extends Desenrola Brasil 2.0 Debt‑Renegotiation Deadline to 31 August 2026
The federal government announced that the Desenrola Brasil 2.0 program, which allows consumers to renegotiate bank debts, has been extended until 31 August 2026. Finance Minister Dario Durigan disclosed the change, which was formalised in a portaria issued by the Ministry of Finance and published in the Diário Oficial da União on 1 Saturday.
The extension applies only to financial institutions that, by 30 July, had at least 1,000 credit operations guaranteed by the Fundo de Garantia de Operações (FGO). All programme rules remain unchanged and no additional public contributions to the FGO are required, as existing resources are deemed sufficient. The extra time is intended to let borrowers who are still negotiating with banks complete their settlements and regain access to credit.
Beneficiaries explicitly mentioned include app drivers, taxi drivers, delivery workers and truck drivers who may use the Move Brazil vehicle‑exchange scheme to obtain new financing. By late July, roughly R$ 22 billion in debts had already been renegotiated in 3.6 million operations, affecting about 9 million families.
